I'm not sure about the scheduler internals, but I'd read the 'nothing
else wants to run' as relating only to processes that aren't blocked
waiting for i/o completion. Since the nighly job spends most of its
time in i/o, it "doesn't want to run" and the dumps will still be given
CPU timeslices - which they will use to issue i/o requests.
